The next aspect of truthfulness is truthfulness in trusting Allah, the Exalted. This is such an important aspect that Allah, the Exalted, combined this with being a true believer. Meaning, one cannot be a true believer until they trust in Allah, the Exalted. Chapter 5 Al Ma’idah, verse 23:
“…And upon Allah rely, if you should be believers.”
Trusting in Allah, the Exalted, includes being assured about what Allah, the Exalted, has guaranteed, such as one’s lawful provision. It is to remove anxiety from one’s heart over the affairs of the material world knowing Allah, the Exalted, only chooses the best for His servants. And to firmly believe that every need, whether it is regarding this world or the next, Allah, the Exalted, is the Ruler and Provider and none but Him can fulfil the need and none can withhold it from them except Allah, the Exalted, even if it outwardly appears that people have a hand in this. They are simply mediums but the source of giving and withholding is none other than Allah, the Exalted. The creation cannot give something to someone which Allah, the Exalted, has not willed neither can they withhold something from someone which Allah, the Exalted, has granted. This is confirmed in a Hadith found in Jami At Tirmidhi, number 2516.
Trusting in Allah, the Exalted, removes hope in and fear of the creation. This is because a muslim has confidence in Allah, the Exalted, and full knowledge and conviction that the blessings of Allah, the Exalted, are constantly descending on them, which no one can prevent.
Truthfulness in trust is connected to truthfulness in abstinence, which has been discussed in previous blogs, as the one who trusts that the provision allocated to them over 50,000 thousand years before the creation of the Heavens and the Earth by Allah, the Exalted, will never be taken or used by anyone else. This has been advised in a Hadith found in Sahih Muslim, number 6748. This inspires them to share the blessings they have been given with others without fear of poverty entering their hearts.
